I'm curious about what do you mean by "cheapest options". Do you remember how much you were paying then?
IIRC, StackOverflow Careers kind of established the price per posting around $300. After they came up every other job posting site was charging around that.
For CareerCupid, I want to make a single flat rate of $89/month and let companies make as many job listings as they want. I think that the value for a company should not be in charging per posted job, but to give them access to the whole database in a way that can help them make hiring decisions directly.
I get it as well, but I think that this "send us your resume" and we will judge you based on it is such an outdated concept we could get rid of it entirely.
Imagine if we got something like Wikidata applied to the "professional social network" graph of the whole world. If "let's set out to build a map of all the ~2 billion people who are economically active" was somewhat impossible to think about 20 years ago, today it's the kind of project that can be easily managed on modest infrastructure.
